brake hose too short with air suspension
 

i was wondering what brake hose you all are running on the front with air suspension, i installed my drop spindles and bags on my 72 chevy and when the suspension is compressed my brake hoses are too short. Any help would be great. thanks.

'73+ on the front side, IIRC.

I saw this with my blazer also.
like XXL said the 73-87 hoses are much longer. I decided to go the stainless braided route, using 3 AN fittings on each end.

S/S braided lines to the length needed.

73+ lines will not work, not right on the brake line side, i just cut off my mounts and moved them up and out a little bit and welded them back on. works great. thanks.

OK, can't figure out how to edit last post. I found the brake lines I am using. I ordered them from earlyclassic.com.

Is this common? Or only if the drop is extreme like laying frame?
